Spotlight on SOTL

The Indigenous Circle is bordered by both the McMaster campus and the canopy of Cootes Paradise. The space features tired stone arranged around a stage in the form of a medicine wheel, a symbol that represents the interconnectivity of all beings. Plantings in the space were sourced from Six Nations of the Grand River. The area demonstrates the role nature and outdoor spaces play in teaching and learning and signifies the importance of Indigenous knowledge to the growth of the McMaster community.
